Marketing class

Tiffany Ervin will present "Exercise Marketing-How to Stretch Your Dollars for Results You Can See and Feel" from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce, 204 Kanuga Road, Hendersonville.

Small-business owners and nonprofit organizations often find their marketing/advertising/public relations budgets to be a "moving target" when funds allocated for that purpose are spent on more immediate needs. But in today's economy, there is increased pressure to make a name for yourself and your business, with limited dollars to do it.

In this presentation, Ervin shares her "Top 25 Marketing Tips for Small Businesses" and attendees leave with fresh ideas on how to increase their organization's public awareness with a limited budget. Cost to attend is $15 for Chamber members, $25 for non-members. Call 828-692-1413 to register.
